Space is often at a premium when transporting children in a car. Safety seats tend to be cumbersome and take up a lot of the seat room in a vehicle. In most areas, law mandates some sort of safety seat is necessary until a child is 8 or 9 years old and meets a certain weight maximum. That can mean many years of squeezing the kids into the car, or missing out on carpool opportunities due to safety seats. But a new category of inflatable safety seats could change the way many drivers view car and booster seats.

Products like GoBooster® and BubbleBum® were the invention of innovators in Europe who have now brought their creations to North America. There are also many other brands still being produced in Europe, including the Luftikid®. Inflatable booster seats are lightweight and durable. They often weigh less than 2 pounds. Plus, they inflate and deflate quickly, making these seats the ultimate in portable options.

There's no need to worry about safety, either. In ordered to be sold in the United States and Canada, any type of child safety seat must be rigorously crash tested to comply with strict vehicle safety standards. With a smaller profile, these seats can also save room in a vehicle, preventing the need to upsize to a larger truck or van.
